Economic and Community Development Director Kevin Christiansen told council members Monday that city representatives have met twice with AC Acquisitions representatives. He said their goal has been to “keep moving forward” with the Planned Unit Development (PUD) application, which has been in process since 2016.

“It’s very likely we won’t be able to make (the August 13) meeting with the extent of the changes discussed today,” Christiansen said.

Council member Bill Galvin noted that several residents who spoke at the hearing had issues with the proposal documents, such as a missing “parallel plan” that would show what could be built without the PUD process.

“Is the applicant and is the city following the PUD process?” Galvin asked.

City attorney Tom Schultz said he thinks so.

“There are some exceptions that will be requested,” Schultz said, adding that the developer can ask to be excused from the parallel plan requirement.

Officials also during a 6 p.m. special meeting directed the city’s Parking Committee to work on data-driven solutions for parking on Warner, Thomas, and School Streets, in light of the new project.
